Ok so now that we’ve gone over all of that, let’s switch to a lighter topic, shall we?? Do any of you guys want to hear how Fabio’s birthday celebration went?? Can you guess what we did??
Here’s a hint:
Yes, we went up in a plane! And Fabio was the pilot! Haha but I’ll get to all of that in a minute. First let’s start with Friday.
Friday evening Fabio and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few items for dinner (it was packed btw, with people stocking up for Sandy). I even let him pick out an ice cream cake for dessert (which he prefers over my homemade regular cake. Sad.) and he couldn’t decide between a Carvel cake or a Snickers ice cream cake.
as adults, I tell ya.
Once we got home, I made Fabio one of his favorite meals on the planet, lasagna. He is obsessed with Italian food and for past birthdays and special occasions I have made him baked zitti and stuffed shells. This time it was lasagna!
I followed this amazing recipe from The Pioneer Woman (because she is a genius and I love her/am obsessed with her). It was really easy and so good. I also made gargantuan sized garlic bread (can you tell Fabio was in charge of slicing bread to the size he wanted? lol) to go along with the lasagna. Because 5 lbs. of cheese and pasta weren’t bad dataset enough for me??
Phew. So many carbs/calories but it was worth every bite!! So good!
After dinner it was time for cake!
Jack wanted a piece too

Sorry Jack, no cake for you!
After enjoying some cake, Fabio and I spent the rest of the evening on the couch relaxing. We were still sort of recuperating from the previous night’s birthday celebrations (aka, the tequila was finally wearing off) so we just wanted to relax. Also, we had big plans in the morning and I didn’t want either of us to be hung over!
